Abstract
The article focuses on the polysemy and usage patterns of the Polish lexeme głowa “head” and its
diminutive główka. Based on corpus methodology and cognitive linguistics analysis, it is argued that the two
lexemes are too autonomous in their meanings than predicted by their morphological relatedness. As the two words cover different
semantic domains, we observe that the diminutive suffix has developed a new function which signals lexicalization of meaning
toward a non-human semantic domain, for example, material objects, plants, etc. Our research contributes to studies on Polish
morphology and lexical semantics and to theoretical research on the polysemy of body part terms.
期刊介绍:
The International Journal of Corpus Linguistics (IJCL) publishes original research covering methodological, applied and theoretical work in any area of corpus linguistics. Through its focus on empirical language research, IJCL provides a forum for the presentation of new findings and innovative approaches in any area of linguistics (e.g. lexicology, grammar, discourse analysis, stylistics, sociolinguistics, morphology, contrastive linguistics), applied linguistics (e.g. language teaching, forensic linguistics), and translation studies. Based on its interest in corpus methodology, IJCL also invites contributions on the interface between corpus and computational linguistics.
